Anyone else concerned about how many times the defence got caught with balls over the top?

May just be early season rust buy had me worried.

Not just you - but I think it might be rust. Jags in particular just looked like I was too hot to haul his butt back.
 
Did anyone else think that Coleman had an excellent game defensively last night, I think signs are there that he will eventually drop back to right-back full time when Neville retires.

No, I thought he was caught out of position frequently and didn't stop crosses coming over. He's still learning and I like him lots, but I'd be frightened to see him playing a PL team with decent wingers at the moment (without very good help in front of him).

he will be a good right-back in a season or two's time mate, he has all the ingredients without a shadow of a doubt.

I really don't see Coleman as a Right back at all, i just don't see it in him. I'd rather see him as an offensive player, perhaps even getting down the wing. He's too offensive minded to make it in that position IMO, especially when we already have an attack minded left back in Baines.
 
Oh, on the Cahill thing - he started as a defensive midfielder, didn't he? Why not give him the role which we give Fellaini or something - just to steal the ball and pass it to the man in front of him. He surely has the strength and ambition/aggression to play there, plus he's getting older and slower to play as a forward. Stick him there as a lone DM, Arteta and Osman/Fellaini/Rodwell/Barkley/whatever in front of him and with 2 wingers and a lone striker and we're not changing much the tactic, but we are changing how we play for sure. Especially if we go with a very fluid tactic, like we did yesterday.
Just a thought like.

Based on his performance yesterday, Gueye should be starting matches in my opinion. He's going to be an absolute class player. If i was to pick an ideal formation at the start of the season it would be this:

Coleman Jagielka Distin Baines
Arteta Fellaini Osman Gueye
Saha Beckford​

We'd get smashed. 10 men, no keeper, no Phil Nev pointing at stuff. 10-0 Spurs FFS.

I wonder if Moyes has thought seriously this season about playing a rush goalie...always used to work when we used to play in the park and nobody will be ready for it.

And who better to play the role than Phil Jags? I think we've uncovered something truly special here.
